Multiple Intelligence Theory-Howard Gardner
TLDRThis presentation by Abbie Hutchinson explores Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, introduced in 1983, which redefines intelligence beyond traditional academic realms. The theory identifies eight distinct intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Hutchinson emphasizes the importance of teachers incorporating these diverse intelligences into their lesson plans to cater to different learning preferences, thereby enhancing student engagement and understanding. The video offers practical examples of how to integrate multiple intelligences into classroom instruction, encouraging educators to embrace this inclusive approach to teaching.

Q & A
What is the theory of multiple intelligences?
-The theory of multiple intelligences is a learning theory suggested by Howard Gardner in 1983 that broadens the definition of intelligence, recognizing that individuals may have high intelligence in areas outside of traditional ones like math and English.
How many categories does the theory of multiple intelligences consist of?
-The theory of multiple intelligences is composed of eight categories.
What is the first area of intelligence mentioned in the theory?
-The first area mentioned is linguistic intelligence, where individuals are good with words, reading, and verbally expressing themselves.
What does logical-mathematical intelligence involve?
-Logical-mathematical intelligence involves individuals who think scientifically and can quickly process data and numbers.
How is spatial intelligence characterized?
-Spatial intelligence is characterized by individuals who are good with visual cues, can easily navigate due directions, design things, and draw.
What does musical intelligence entail?
-Musical intelligence entails individuals who like songs, rhythms, patterns, and tunes, and they often connect content to song.
What is kinesthetic or bodily-kinesthetic intelligence?
-Kinesthetic or bodily-kinesthetic intelligence refers to individuals who are good at controlling their physical movement, often being athletes and needing to move with ease.
How is interpersonal intelligence defined?
-Interpersonal intelligence is defined by individuals who are good at being sympathetic or empathetic with others, perceiving their needs, and using that information to approach them, working well in groups.
What is the last area of intelligence mentioned in the script?
-The last area mentioned is naturalist intelligence, where individuals understand the elements of the world, love nature, and learn easily from observing patterns in the outside world.
How can teachers use the theory of multiple intelligences in their lesson planning?
-Teachers can use the theory of multiple intelligences by addressing a variety of preferences and intelligences in their lesson plans, integrating different intelligences and methods to reach them.
Does the theory suggest that teachers need to create separate lesson plans for each intelligence?
-No, the theory suggests that teachers should integrate all the intelligences into the same lesson, not create separate lesson plans for each.
What are some examples of lessons that integrate different intelligences?
-The script does not provide specific examples of lessons, but it implies that teachers should create lessons that cater to linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and naturalist intelligences.
What are the sources cited in the video presentation?
-The sources cited in the video presentation include Edutopia, a textbook, and a resource from the California Department of Education.
What tool was used to create the video presentation?
-The video presentation was created using Powtoon.
